Handling
static-sensitive
devices
Attention:
Static
electricity
can
damage
electronic
devices
and
your
system.
To
avoid
damage,
keep
static-sensitive
devices
in
their
static-protective
packages
until
you
are
ready
to
install
them.
To
reduce
the
possibility
of
electrostatic
discharge,
observe
the
following
precautions:
v
Limit
your
movement.
Movement
can
cause
static
electricity
to
build
up
around
you.
v
Handle
the
device
carefully,
holding
it
by
its
edges
or
its
frame.
v
Do
not
touch
solder
joints,
pins,
or
exposed
printed
circuitry.
v
Do
not
leave
the
device
where
others
can
handle
and
damage
it.
v
While
the
device
is
still
in
its
static-protective
package,
touch
it
to
any
unpainted
metal
surface
of
the
BladeCenter
chassis
or
any
unpainted
metal
surface
on
any
other
grounded
rack
component
for
at
least
2
seconds.
(This
drains
static
electricity
from
the
package
and
from
your
body.)
v
Remove
the
device
from
its
package
and
install
it
directly
into
your
BladeCenter
unit
without
setting
it
down.
If
it
is
necessary
to
set
down
the
device,
put
it
back
into
its
static-protective
package.
Do
not
place
the
device
on
your
BladeCenter
chassis
or
on
a
metal
surface.
v
Take
additional
care
when
handling
devices
during
cold
weather.
Heating
reduces
indoor
humidity
and
increases
static
electricity.

Configuring
the
GbE
switch
module
The
GbE
switch
module
supports
two
remote-access
modes
for
management
through
Ethernet
connections.
The
GbE
switch
module
has
an
internal
Ethernet
path
to
the
management
module
and
the
four
external
Ethernet
ports
on
the
GbE
switch
module.
You
can
select
the
mode
that
is
best
suited
for
your
BladeCenter
environment.
v
The
default
mode
uses
the
internal
path
to
the
management
module
only.
In
this
mode,
the
remote-access
link
to
the
management
console
must
be
attached
to
the
10/100
Mbps
Ethernet
connector
on
the
management
module.
The
IP
addresses
and
SNMP
parameters
of
the
GbE
switch
modules
can
be
automatically
assigned
by
the
IBM
Director
BladeCenter
Deployment
wizard
(when
available)
or
you
must
manually
assign
them
through
the
BladeCenter
Management
and
Configuration
Program.
This
mode
enables
the
system
administrator
to
provide
a
secure
LAN
for
management
of
the
BladeCenter
subsystems
separately
from
the
data
network.
See
“Establishing
a
TCP/IP
session
for
the
GbE
switch
through
the
management
module”
on
page

for
additional
information.
Important:
In
this
mode,
the

switch
module
does
not
respond
to

the
GbE
switch
module
through
the
four
external
ports
on
the
GbE
switch
module,
instead
of
or
in
addition
to
access
through
the
management
module.
This
mode
can
be
enabled
only
through
the
management
module
configuration
interface.
When
this
mode
is
enabled,
the
external
Ethernet
ports
will
support
both
management
traffic
and
BladeCenter
application
data
traffic.
See
“Enabling
the
external
ports”
on
page
26
for
additional
information.
This
mode
enables
the
GbE
switch
module
IP
addresses
to
be
on
a
different
IP
subnet
than
the
management
modules.
This
is
useful
when
the
GbE
switch
modules
are
to
be
managed
and
controlled
as
part
of
the
overall
network
infrastructure,
while
secure
management
of
other
BladeCenter
subsystems
is
maintained
through
the
management
module.
However,
management-module
access
to
the
Gigabit
switch-module
link
will
be
lost
if
the
GbE
switch
module
IP
address
is
not
on
the
same
IP
subnet
as
the
management
module.
See
“Establishing
a
TCP/IP
session
for
the
switch
through
the
external
switch-module

on
page
29
for
additional
information.
The
Alteon
OS
20.1
Application
Guide
on
the
IBM
BladeCenter
Documentation
CD
contains
additional
instructions
for
configuring
the
GbE
switch
module
for
this
mode
of
operation.
Important:
1.
Before
you
configure
your
GbE
switch
module,
be
sure
that
the
management
modules
in
your
BladeCenter
unit
are
properly
configured.
See
the
applicable
BladeCenter
Installation
and
User’s
Guide
publications
on
the
IBM
BladeCenter
Documentation
CD
for
more
information.
2.
The
default
IP
address
of
the
GbE
switch
module
is
192.168.70.127,
192.168.70.128,
192.168.70.129,
or
192.168.70.130,
depending
on
the
switch
module
bay
where
it
is
installed.

3.
If
you
change
the
IP
address
of
the
GbE
switch
module
and
restart
the
BladeCenter
unit,
the
GbE
switch
module
will
maintain
this
new
IP
address
as
its
default
value.
4.
The
management
module
and
the
GbE
switch
module
can
communicate
with
each
other
only
if
they
are
on
the
same
IP
subnet.
5.
When
you
use
the
management
module
Web
interface
to
update
the
GbE
switch
module
configuration,
the
management
module
firmware
saves
the
new
configuration
in
its
internal
non-volatile
random-access
memory
(NVRAM).
If
the
switch
module
restarts,
the
management
module
applies
the
saved
configuration
to
the
switch
module.
If,
for
some
reason,
the
switch
module
restarts
and
the
management
module
cannot
apply
the
saved
configuration
to
the
switch
module,
the
switch
module
defaults
to
using
the
configuration
that
it
had
previously
saved.
If
the
subnet
IP
address
of
the
switch
module
does
not
match
the
subnet
IP
address
of
the
management
module,
you
might
not
be
able
to
manage
the
switch
module
any
more.
6.
For
switch
communication
with
a
remote
management
station,
such
as
the
IBM
Director
server,
through
the
management
module
external
Ethernet
port,
the
switch
module
internal
network
interface
and
the
management
module
internal
and
external
interfaces
must
be
on
the
same
IP
subnet.

switch
module
over
the
network
using
the
Telnet
protocol.
You
can
use
this
facility
to
perform
many
basic
network
management
functions.

software
To
determine
the
latest
level
of
the
Alteon
OS
switch
software
that
is
available
from
IBM,
complete
the
following
steps:
1.
Go
to
http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/;
then,
click
Support
&
downloads.
2.
Type
the
switch
model
number.
A
window
opens,
displaying
the
latest
level
of
available
software.
3.
Compare
the
level
of
software
that
you
noted
in
the
I/O
Module
Firmware
VPD
section
of
the
Firmware
VPD
window
to
the
latest
level
of
available
software.
If
the
two
software
levels
do
not
match,
download
the
latest
level
from
the
World
Wide
Web
to
your
switch
module.
The
GbE
switch
module
contains
two
software
operating-system
images.
Therefore,
you
can
always
return
to
a
previous
image
if
the
current
download
process
fails.
Upgrading
the
switch
software
The
switch
software
is
upgraded
through
a
TFTP
server
application.
Typically,
this
software
runs
as
an
application
under
your
operating
system.
Make
sure
that
this
software
is
installed
on
your
server;
then,
download
the
software
images
from
the
IBM
Web
site
into
a
directory
on
your
TFTP
server.
Enable
the
TFTP
server
and
set
its
default
directory
to
the
one
where
the
image
is.
To
transfer
the
software
image
files
from
the
TFTP
server
to
the
switch,
you
must
establish
a
Telnet
session
through
the
management
module.
The
Telnet
session
will
work
correctly
only
if
all
three
network
entities
(TFTP
server,
management
module,
and
switch
IP
addresses)
are
on
the
same
subnet.
Use
the
management
module
graphical
user
interface
(GUI)
to
configure
the
IP
addresses
of
the
management
module
external
interface
(eth0)
and
the
GbE
switch
module
so
that
they
both
are
on
the
same
subnet
as
the
TFTP
server.

Solving
problems
This
section
provides
basic
troubleshooting
information
to
help
you
solve
some
problems
that
might
occur
while
you
are
setting
up
the
GbE
switch
module.
The
Alteon
OS
20.x
Application
Guide
and
the
Hardware
Maintenance
Manual
and
Troubleshooting
Guide
on
the
IBM
BladeCenter
Documentation
CD
contain
more
details
about
troubleshooting
the
GbE
switch
module.
If
you
cannot
locate
and
correct
the
problem
using
the
information
in
this
section,
see
Appendix
A,
“Getting
help
and
technical
assistance,”
on
page
49.
Running
POST
To
ensure
that
it
is
fully
operational,
the
GbE
switch
module
processes
a
series
of
tests
during
power-up
or
a
restart
(power-on
self-test
or
POST).
These
tests
take
approximately
1
minute
to
complete.
The
management
module
reads
the
test
results
and
displays
them
for
you.
During
normal
operation,
these
tests
are
completed
without
error,
and
the
green
OK
LED
is
lit.
However,
if
POST
fails,
the
amber

LED
and
the

POST
errors
There
are
two
types
of
errors:
noncritical
and
critical.
Noncritical
errors
apply
to
one
port,
and
the
GbE
switch
module
is
operational.
You
can
continue
to
operate
the
GbE
switch
module;
however,
you
must
replace
it
as
soon
as
possible.
When
critical
errors
occur,
the
GbE
switch
module
does
not
operate.
If
a
critical
error
occurs,
complete
the
following
steps:
1.
Open
the
Management
Module
Switch
Information
window.
2.
Turn
off
the
GbE
switch
module;
then,
turn
it
back
on.
3.
After
POST
is
completed,
the
management
module
displays
the
results.
Refresh
the
window
to
view
the
POST
results.
If
the
error
remains,
the
GbE
switch
module
is
defective.
Replace
the
GbE
switch
module.
The
following
table
describes
the
basic
critical
and
noncritical
failures.
This
abbreviated
list
is
representative;
it
is
not
intended
as
an
exhaustive
list.
An
error
code
is
associated
with
each
failure.
Error
codes
appear
on
the
Management
Module
Switch
Information
window.
Be
sure
to
note
the
applicable
error
code
and
corresponding
failure.
You
might
need
to
provide
this
information
when
you
call

programs,
whether
pre-loaded
with
the
Machine,
installed
subsequently
or
otherwise.
Nothing
in
this
Statement
of
Limited
Warranty
affects
any

What
IBM
Will
Do
to
Correct
Problems
When
you
call
for
service,
you
must
follow
the
problem
determination
and
resolution
procedures
that
IBM
specifies.
A
technician
will
attempt
to
make
an
initial
diagnosis
of
your
problem
and
help
you
resolve
it
over
the
telephone.
The
type
of
warranty
service
applicable
to
your
Machine
is
specified
in
Part
3
-
Warranty
Information.
You
are
responsible
for
downloading
and
installing
designated
Machine
Code
(microcode,
basic
input/output
system
code
(called
“BIOS”),
utility
programs,
device
drivers,
and
diagnostics
delivered
with
an
IBM
Machine)
and
other
software
updates
from
an
IBM
Internet
Web
site
or
from
other
electronic
media,
and
following
the
instructions
that
IBM
provides.
If
your
problem
can
be
resolved
with
a
Customer
Replaceable
Unit
(“CRU”)
(e.g.,
keyboard,
mouse,
speaker,
memory,
hard
disk
drive
and
other
easily
replaceable
parts),
IBM
will
ship
these
parts
to
you
for
replacement
by
you.
If
the
Machine
does
not
function
as
warranted
during
the
warranty
period
and
your
problem
cannot
be
resolved
over
the
telephone,
through
your
application
of
Machine
Code
or
software
updates,
or
with
a
CRU,
IBM
or
your
reseller,
if
approved
by
IBM
to
provide
warranty
service,
will
either,
at
its
discretion,
1)
repair
it
to
make
it
function
as
warranted,
or
2)
replace
it
with
one
that
is
at
least
functionally
equivalent.
If
IBM
is
